Great!! But that's someone else's car. Show us your car receiving this procedure. I am curious to how the magnetic drain plug will look in the end.

This sounds interesting. You should post a video of showing us this process step by step using your own actual car, assuming it still runs.

You say "you'll notice the  fresh diesel fuel will turn blackish tar, that's all the carbon deposit over time... yawk!! Please enlighten us as to how carbon gets into the transmission and oil galleries of the engine.

for the record, guys , especially the newbies, pls use your own judgment, i share facts base on my experience.  my experience may or may not be beneficial to you.  im the kind who  always wants to experiment, before i believe in theories, i have to experiment and prove it myself. 

again, use your own judgement.

Just to cut thru the clutter that this post will become:

In case you are a newbie reading this, please understand that NONE of the regular, experienced posters on (or staff from) Minimania would ever reccomend using diesel as an engine oil flush for your classic mini. Please treat any such advise (or similar) with extreme caution and seek inputs from alternate seasoned, experienced individuals that you can find 24hrs a day on this forum.

End.

It's been fun, but this place is done. I have no hatred, and appreciate the good times. But this place now belongs to Tony and his pink mini.

Wrong again. if it was 90% steel, then the remaining 19% is not steel. It includes other metals and non-metals, which could very well be destroyed or dissolved by the diesel fuel.

I'd suggest that it would have been much better for you to just delete the sludge (this blatant attempt at starting trouble) instead of replying to it and playing along.*
There will indeed be some new noises, none of them pleasant, despite your appeal to play nicely with the retard.

*I know that the moderators of the MM board have access to IP addresses, which also means that you know who it is who is doing the chain yanking.  I'm fairly sure we all agree that Boison isn't Robster, my money is on it being Willie.

As always a tool.

Tell me, will you feel any remorse if some poor unsuspecting soul destroys their engine and transmission following one of your snake oil schemes, costing them thousands of dollars ? Which half assed notion will you peddle next Numpty ? Or bobo if you prefer. We're waiting......

you'll notice the  fresh diesel fuel will turn blackish tar, that's all the sludge deposit over time... yawk!!

 

again, this is an aggressive engine flushing...kids don't try this at home., ..only for professional.
